Busiest Times of Year

 Many people have asked me when the busiest times of year are for Summit County Real Estate.  Although there are some exceptions to the rule, the year typically starts out slow and picks up pace through year end.  For example, here is a look at the number of closings per month from 2009-2011.  In these three years there were a combined total of 3,670 transactions and the chart below shows how they break down by month.

	# of transactions	% of annual
2009-2011	3670
January	172	4.70%
February	180	4.90%
March	239	6.50%
April	247	6.70%
May	290	7.90%
June	254	6.90%
July	259	7.00%
August	338	9.20%
September	436	11.90%
October	453	12.30%
November	401	10.90%
December	401	10.90%

It is important to understand that if the transactions were spread out equally you would see 305 transactions or 8.333% each month.  Any month that produces less than this number is displayed in red while the months that account for more than this appear in green.  Accordingly, any month with less than that could be considered a slow month and months with more than that could be considered busy.  It is interesting to note that the last five months of the year are generating 55.2% of the transactions while the fist seven months only account for 44.6%.  Lastly, it is important to remember that many transaction take 45 (sometimes more) days to close so, a closing in September may have gone under contract in July.
